Just as networking has moved from the office to the home, so has video surveillance. It is no longer an item for a corporate office or only part of an overpriced security setup. Today you can pick up small full functional IP based cameras for a relatively low price.

TRENDNet has a nice range of them; some are hardwired, some wireless, some even have Power over Ethernet capabilities. Today we are taking a look at one of the more high-end flavours, the TV-IP422W. This is a fully functional camera and server complete with IR lights for night viewing, a full range of motion (330 degrees horizontal movement and 105 vertical), 2-way audio, image capture motion detection, event based recording and much more.

Now we dive in and see if the TV-IP422W will fit into your home security plans.
